November 2012 Hip Kit… Christmas Eve layout by Kimberly…

I know about you, but Cindy’s 8.5”x11” layouts have inspired me to create one of my own… and I have to say that it was a lot of fun, and I am really happy with the way it turned out. Each year on Christmas Eve the girls all get to open one gift from my mom, and it is always Christmas pajamas. This tradition started when they were babies and it continues today. The photo that I used on my page is about 10 years old – and I love expressions on each of their faces and I love how well it coordinated with the products in our November Hip Kit.

The

Sleigh Ride Tag Cuts Paper is one of my favorite products in this kit. It is so versatile and it has so many different patterns, colors and sentiments on it. Many of the tags are great for journaling, and some are wonderful to use a an embellishment for your project. I used three tags and a tab on this page. One tag for journaling – which I hid inside a glassine bag, and two others to add a little extra pattern and a splash of color. The layers also give a lot of texture and some dimension to my layout.

I adore the Studio Calico Alphabet Stickers that were included in our main kit. The font is perfect for holiday projects. The addition of machine stitching to my title is a nice little detail.

The Sleigh Ride Chipboard Accents & OA Make It Merry Word Stickers (both from our November Embellishment Add-On Kit) will make embellishing your holiday and winter projects a breeze. I love how that sweet pink present looks on my page, and the “Merry & Bright” sticker adds a nice finishing touch.

Thanks for coming by today. I hope my projects has inspired you to create a few layouts using some of your holiday photos from this year or years past. Scrapbooking allows you to revisit some of those special moments again. Happy scrapping! xo Kimberly
